  • Assist with planning and logistics for internal and external user experience playtests.
  • Provide qualitative feedback, discuss, and engage with stakeholders, and ensure that we focus our efforts on verifying the game quality where it matters the most.
  • Be proactive in building the test pipeline and process for the features you will have QA ownership over.
